Pickering Pre-school is a friendly Playgroup situated in the Portacabin at the Pickering Infant School in the heart of Pickering. We have been established since 1965 so nearly 50 years. We are also members of the Pre-School Learning Alliance. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage that pre-school, nurseries and schools follow. The EYFS covers 7 areas of learning which are split into two areas the Prime Areas and Specific Areas. Personal, Social and Emotional Development

At Pickering Pre-School we have a robust key worker system in place this helps give your child a more secure, stable and safe time in setting and also helps build the relationships with families. Each child will have a Learning Journey for their time in Pre-School which shows their development through observations, photographs and examples of their work. All our staff work hard to ensure each child has a happy and enjoyable time while also helping them to achieve and promote their learning in all areas of the EYFS. We continually assess and then plan for the next step in your childs learning. Everyone is welcome and staff and committee are always happy to help and answer any questions or concerns you may have.

We are a committee run playgroup that endeavours to give high quality childcare to the people of Pickering and surrounding areas. We are constantly on the look out for new committee members (committee members are essential, as if there isn't a chairperson and several committee members then playgroup cannot run). We also need people who can help out at fundraising events. If you are interested in either of these things please talk to the staff at playgroup.
